Thought
Sometimes it comes,
only as a faint flicker
striving against the darkness
which would oppress it;
swallow it;
extinguish it.
Yet if it can survive;
hold out against
all adversity,
slowly it begins to grow
brighter; illuminating
The overcrowding,
resistance pushed back,
blinded if they cannot
withstand enlightenment.
Still some shadows
of doubt are cast,
looming as near the source
as they can touch,
But if this can be
surpassed then it will
come as a roar; a flash
bigger than the sun,
it will penetrate
every mind,
infiltrate
any who would deny.
A beacon to lead
and to guide
through the darkness
of those who were
not strong enough
to bear the torch
and let it die.
